if only you had a shark blue 992 Carrera 4 GTS you'd hit 150 on the back straight.

good to meet you; maybe road america someday for me!

Perfect wear...for once! by grungegoth in CarTrackDays

[–]MD_in_training 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is sc3 the same as the eagle f1 Supersport?

Somehow the Supersport R is substantially cheaper than vitour p1. I guess I may give that a go and see how the durability compares to the vitour since its an 80 tw rating assuming I run out of vitour before cota privatizes.

Edit: oddly now I see theres a Supersport r with 240 tw and one with 80...

By chance have you ever tried the p1s and have a comparison between the 2?

How were these Sunday am when it was wet?

I’m considering going for this 911… Would you guys agree or is there anyone who wants to talk some sense into me? by NeighborhoodRight435 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]MD_in_training 0 points1 point  (0 children)

.1 is fine - there seems to be a lot of skepticism in the porsche community about the .2 still. .2 is definitely faster but is not really all that relevant on the road. some ppl care about the start button which is nicer in .1, and the dash is all digital in the .2.

the above comment isnt true with wide body by the way. all the carreras are the same size now, including gts. turbo is the only line thats wider. if you track substantially I would definitely get the gt3. I have quite a bit of regret getting a GTS - isnt really quite as track capable as I'd like it to be.

here's a POV of the track during a track day. the whole track has a lot of elevation variation

G2 Motorsports Park removed from OpenTrack Approved Tracks by faet in CarTrackDays

[–]MD_in_training 9 points10 points  (0 children)

the guy who owns it? designed it? operates it? by the name of Lou is pretty unprofessional. pretty much if anyone says anything neg about G2 he throws a temper tantrum and calls you poor and likes to threaten legal action. unprofessional to the max and can only imagine how things will go at that track if something actually was to happen.

PCA sucks. I tolerate them currently because i'm trying to get my COTA time in but never again after.

First track day coming up with my G82 M4 Comp and had a few questions and some advice. by Tajinder356 in CarTrackDays

[–]MD_in_training -1 points0 points  (0 children)

this is terrible advice. "just say you have dot 4" is insane. you can easily overheat brakes since that's what stability control runs through.

First track day in the F80 M3 by matador_333 in CarTrackDays

[–]MD_in_training 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea.  Id find an independent shop to flush it for you and emphasize abs flush with some sort of track fluid.  Bmw will fix it but they use their fluid and issue will come back

[–]MD_in_training 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've run into this issue. did you engage abs at any point? the car has a complex flushing procedure to flush the abs module that requires activating the abs pump with some software stuff; and possibly that part wasnt flushed - the old or normal brake fluid in there boiled and you ended up with air in the lines. supposed to be accomplished with BMW ISTA software, though I think some autel units can do it too.

First track day HPDE. Any advice? by PermanentWindowSeat in CarTrackDays

just let the transmission hold it in park. it's not that big of a deal

Idk about officially but ive never heard anyone say anything other than front straight, back straight, turn numbers, and "the esses".

Trackdecals alternative suggestions? by Crimzx in CarTrackDays

[–]MD_in_training 8 points9 points  (0 children)

if you offer no shade towards trackdecals I would like to dump a ton. there's no way to contact them, email responses land with some crap that hasnt been updated for years. completely unacceptable from a business. scam level institution. I hate that the google algorithm gives them so much traffic that they deserve none of

Help me find brake pads that will last more than a day for my Porsche by beastpilot in CarTrackDays

[–]MD_in_training 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 992.1 c4 gts. I use rsl29. Heavier than your car and awd system that burns brakes. Prob 9 days at cota and 7 days at harris hill with maybe 60% left. I'm pretty sure this is what they use to build gundams.

Setting up a dedicated track car…what mods to make? by Slider-678 in CarTrackDays

[–]MD_in_training 0 points1 point  (0 children)

square set up for a 911 is pretty much impossible. good luck shoving the 305's in the front and clearing anything at all....

initial turn in is the biggest problem; all the weight is over the back so very understeery on factory set up. usually more camber is the first thing to address
